Hi Everyone –
Here are the R262 Release notes.
“Time is an illusion….”
Thank you for playing!
Kang the Conqueror?
It’s Arcade clue. And we already know that he is next.
Arcade has nothing to do with neither time or illusion. A better clue would be “Tic tac boom, yer off the board!”
-from Marvel Team Up, Spiderman and Captain Britain issue 66, Feb 1977.
They can easily get better clues. They have subscriptions to Marvel Unlimited. All they need to do is open a comic and read the bubbles.
Albert Einstein once wrote: People like us who believe in physics know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. Time, in other words, he said, is an illusion. Many physicists since have shared this view, that true reality is timeless.
I’m still struggling how this hint refers to Arcade?
Although some of the hints have been so 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon that I’m more confused when they do release who it is
I guess it works for me because I definitely felt like I lost time in arcades. Pumping in those quarters…time would melt away.
Are we sure this is Arcade’s clue? I’ve been praying for Kang for ages haha.
There are 2 arcade pvps lined up this month so it’s confirmed. Unless they decide to subvert expectations and change things around again as they have shown to do in the past.
Maybe Kang shows up at the last minute and zaps Arcade away to another timeline to take his place.
I think to the point - last update had an arcade clue. they don’t often do both so it COULD be the next 4
If you look at the “What’s New MPQ” thread, it says:
Characters
4-Star: Reptil (Humberto Lopez) Clue: Transpaleo
3/5-Star: Emma Frost (New X-Men) / Emma Frost (Phoenix Five) Clue: Mind Palace
4-Star: Doop (Green One) Clue: Easily Understood
3/5 Star: Arcade (KINGOFPWN) / Arcade (Edward Acra) Clue: Time Is An Illusion
So, yes, this is definitely Arcade’s clue (although given after they already announced Arcade).
According to wiki he is a genious (like Einstein), on vanguard technology, physicist and robotic engineer.
And an assassin and a hitman.
“Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.” - Ford Prefect from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
“There is always time. Time is infinite. You are finite, Zathras is finite, this…is wrong tool." - Zathras, from Babylon 5 by J. Michael Strazinsky
Maybe in conjunction with Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania??
I think that drops in theaters in February.
No R263 release notes?
Probably embarrassed to post those - they refer to the PVP that wasn’t, the MPQ originals one.
Today’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever red carpet premiere. I guess they are squeezed for time to roll out tie-ins and celebration.
Come on.
They get that info 6+ months in advance.
Any time squeeze is of their own making.
R263 can be found on google playstore anyway. And they have disclaimer on their calendar: Schedule is subject to change at any time.
The fact that they created a thread for those three buffs and not R263 implies that they are short on time and have to prioritise what subject is more important. In a perfect world, things go according to plan.
Short on time? Can’t imagine it takes more than 15 minutes to put that update out.
